the president made it no longer the policy of the united states to torture, but his administration also decided to let the people who did torture get away with it. and the man he is running against for president now says that he would happily reinstate the old bush era policies on torturing people on waterboarding. prosecutions for torture would have made this a latter of law and justice and negativity policy. not prosecuting it makes it just another policy issue, just another choice between candidates. just another choice that any president can make moving forward because there is a precedent of it being known in this country and unprosecuted in this country and therefore, effectively legalized which means as long ago and as far as away as 2004 seems from this year and this election, the american people have another choice to make in this election between torturing people or not. that is still not a settled matter for us as a nation. it's just a decision made by one man depending on who's in that office. the past is never dead. it is not even past. here's what happened... i was talking
